I'm thinking about buying this...
guy is asking $745 for it.. he's probably a lil flexible..
am i getting a decent deal?
my current computer is SO old, need to upgrade.. wanna be able to run all of the current games and future games to come.
what else should i ask this guy about the computer, if anything?? (do i need anymore details about it to determine if its a good deal or not.
lmk

750$ is what that rig would cost as new, barely. You'd need to get him lower than that.

For what he's asking, no.

Start at $375, then work your way to $500ish.
